Variables produced
This action doesn't produce any variables.
Using Variables in Conditions
You can use variables in the "Content to display" parameter by clicking the {x} button or inserting a variable icon. This allows you to create dynamic messages based on previously defined variables or the results of previous actions. When using variables, ensure that the variable type is compatible with text display.
Notes
The message will automatically disappear after the specified duration without requiring any user interaction.
Use different message types to visually indicate the nature of the information (success for positive outcomes, error for issues, etc.).
This action is useful for providing feedback during automation execution but does not block workflow execution while displayed.
For longer messages or those requiring user interaction, consider using a dialog box action instead.
